While working selling the Street Sense paper, my Latino brothers like to make fun because they don’t know or really understand why we do what we do. A lot of us native born black American men and boys don’t have anything to look forward to in this country except the jail cell and a grave. We can’t even call ourselves immigrants. We have no other country to say we are a part of.

We didn’t crawl under or over a fence or swim an ocean or river to get this racist God-forsaken country to make believe that we can be a part of a dream established by murder and deceit.

Those who are making fun weren’t here in this country when we were threatened with jail or prison if we didn’t go to a Southeast Asian nation to impose a fake democracy on a people seeking freedom from oppression. Those of us who made it home alive are supposed to stand by and watch as our offspring are taken advantage of by the so-called freest nation on earth.

A whole generation was lost and murdered only so greedy, imperialistic people could come here and suck the blood from those of us who are already poor and homeless. To add to the shame, there are also black politicians who exploit the hopelessness of their black brothers and sisters.

Where is the America, One Nation under God, with liberty and justice for all the people? What happened to forty acres and a mule? Shame on you America. We gained our freedom, black America, to become drug dealers, crack heads and dope addicts. Shame on you Black America and our black leaders.
God tells me to be patient and wait on Him.

I pray, “Please God make a way out of no- way.” Thank you Street Sense.
